Hi, since I’m back where I can now use my own tablet I came here to see what is new. Just a brief summary I was diagnosed in 2008 with fibro, along with OA, the past 21 months I have unemployed applied for disability in January 2014 after being let go from my job, b/c I wasn’t meeting their performance standards (I worked for state government) despite the fact that I was under Fmla for not only for my case but I am a caregiver for my dh. Life fibro isn’t some glamorous thing we make up to get out doing things in life. It still makes mad, upset, hurt and genuinely wish there was a place I could live that I didn’t have to listen to those have a difficult time believing that fibro exists for whatever reason.
My hope was to be able to work for several more years doesn’t appear that’s a possibility since sitting, standing for long periods are agony, I doubt there is a job that will allow me to lay several times a day, not to mention I can lift no more than 10 pounds.
